Just The FAQS

Who can be a Champion?

Anyone can! Well, anyone that’s willing to reach out to their network and champion (pun intended) for Best Buddies.

Who nominates the Champions?

Most Champions are nominated by Best Buddies staff, participants, supporters, or previous Champions. A few are self-nominated, which we think is super awesome.

Why is Champion needed?

Because opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are very limited, and our Champion campaigns open doors for everyone to be included – in school, at work, and in the community. And when that happens, we all win.

Are Champions professional fundraisers?

Not at all – in fact, many Champions are newbies at fundraising. We teach them everything they need to know!

Can my company make a donation to my friend’s Champion campaign?

Absolutely! And we would be delighted to talk to your company about partnership opportunities as well. Just give us a shout and we chat about what that could look like.

Can I volunteer at the event?

Absolutely! Volunteers are needed to assist with event planning, day-of support, and more. If you are interested in volunteering, visit the link below to receive more info regarding volunteer opportunities. Sign up to volunteer at www.bestbuddies.org/volunteer.
